Reaction Steps

The pyrazole of Example 11 (5.47 g, 19.3 mmol) was mixed with 2-chloroethylamine hydrochloride (2.46 g, 21.3 mmol) and heated neat at 150° C. for 20 hours. After cooling, the solid was partitioned between dichloromethane and 10% aqueous potassium carbonate solution. The organic extract was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with a solvent gradient of dichloromethane:methanol:ammonia (95:5:0, by volume) gradually changing to dichloromethane:methanol:ammonia (90:10:1, by volume) to afford the title compound (3.37 g) as a colourless oil.
